## Caption

#SalvadorDali and #WilliamShakespeare both honored the goddess Venus. In Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis" he said, "...trembling in her passion, calls it balm, Earth's sovereign salve to do a goddess good. Being so enraged, desire doth lend her force." We'd read a romance novel by Shakespeare, especially if Dali designed the cover.
